One of the finest Halloween bar crawls is the Halloween Trolley Bar Crawl. Why is it one of the finest? Because you don’t need to spend all night walking. Slip into your costume, hop on the trolley, and drink at bars all around the city. Are you a UpOut Insider? Snag free tickets for your group of four here. That’s a value of $108 on us.

Start your Halloween weekend off with a costumed crawl through Wrigleyville. Tickets include a dinner buffet (you gotta eat!) and gift card to use at participating bars (which is pretty much all of them).

Mad River will turn into a creepy campout with staff dressed like Fairytale creatures and Princes or Princesses but with a scary, zombified or absolutely Mad twist. Guests are encouraged to embrace the theme (but not required).

The National Museum of Mexican Art is celebrating Día de los Muertos. The Harrison Park soccer field will be transformed for a Day of the Dead festival. The surrounding area will be turned into an elaborate work of art, featuring visual displays that reveal the story of the Day of the Dead. Families and individuals will create one of a kind ofrendas for their dearly departed loved ones.
